Each season we take part in a three-way Battle with Stokesley Photographic Society and Saltburn Photographic Society. This year it was held at Saltburn on Wednesday 18 December.
Hilary Crick reports that it was a very enjoyable evening with excellent refreshments half way through. Northallerton came second in the Print section and again came second in the PDI section. When the two marks were added together, we moved up to 1st place! I would like to thank all those members who came to support us and everyone who submitted images for selection. It was a team effort and every mark counted towards the final score, so don’t be disappointed if your image did not do as well as you had hoped for, the mark it did get was vital to our final score. Congratulations must go to Sheila Coates, Pat Kearton and Bob Crick who all scored 30, all our submitted images are below.
